Feedback on AST's Arcana Gauge

[Jaber]

I hate not being able to see other AST's cards in the party list. I hate not being able to see my own cards in the party list. I hate having to shift my focus off of everything else to glance at an obtrusive widget every time I draw or shuffle because there's no more floating text. I hate how much space it takes up to display what would otherwise be a handful of icons at the bottom of my screen.

I've gone from having all the information I need in all the places I need it presented in an unobtrusive way, to having to either A) have this widget permanently in the middle of my screen or B) constantly look away from what I'm doing to check it.

I find it incredibly obnoxious and I hate it. I want the status icons back...

Pretty much.

Bonus points that with the removal of aetherflow stacks showing on SMN/SCH, I can no longer toss them a spear to make use of it. Previously I would hold a spear just to watch my summoner's Aetherflow stacks and judge when they were about to use it. Now I have next to no way of knowing, since even their dreadwyrm trance is hidden.

Everything about this new gauge screams "Tacked on" just because the other jobs have gauges.

It's infuriatingly bad.

Frankly I hate most gauges entirely. At least have the gauge be an option while still retaining them showing up as buffs.

I actually don't mind the aetherflow stack gauge missing because I assume this means MNKs can no longer punch them off me in PVP.

If they wanted things like this, or preventing us from clicking off Royal Road, they could easily have had the buffs function like Diurnal/noct Sect do, or how Cleric Stance used to work, in that it's a buff you can't click off.

There's literally no reason to not have had the option to still retain them as showing on your buff bar.

This man has it right. I dispise AST's guage. It is HARDER to tell what cards I have. A guage should make things EASIER, no harder. Absolutely a travesty.

As for Undraw, it is a GODSEND for us controller users.

Does undraw have the same effect as cancelling a card with the mouse?

I play on PC but I'm a controller user. I use a macro to discard things. Its nice that they gave us an actual button for it then.
